Parallel multiscale context-based edge-preserving optical flow estimation with occlusion detection

作者:

Highlights:

• We construct a parallel multiscale context network for occlusion detection, which extracts multiscale context information to refine the occlusion boundaries.

• We combine the PMC network with a context network to establish an occlusion detection module and incorporate it into a pyramid, warping, and cost volume network to construct an edge-preserving optical flow model.

• We exploit a novel loss function by integrating an edge loss with an EPE-based loss and a binary cross-entropy loss. The proposed loss function supervises the network to estimate flow field and occlusions simultaneously.
